Osteopontin Stabilizes Metastable States Prior to Nucleation during Apatite Formation
© 2016 American Chemical Society.Osteopontin, which is a phosphoprotein with strong ties to in vivo bone mineralization, is shown to change the precipitation pathway of calcium phosphate. We show that the presence of the phosphoprotein, even in minute concentrations, can stabilize an otherwise overs...
